How to scale bars of barchart so it shows the complete graph with data

I created a simple barchart with d3.js. My problem my complete chart is not shown but it is cut off to the right. Only 16 of the 20 bars are shown
I guess it is a scaling issue but I don't know how to fix it. If I increase the width it shows me more bars, but I'd like to keep the original width. Here is my code:
{#Creating a barchart#}
var dataset = [133,131,111,345,665,665,454,44,4,235....]; //These are the bars
var svgWidth = 900, svgHeight = 400, barPadding = 10;
var barWidth = (svgWidth / dataset.length * 2 );
var svg = d3.select('svg')
.attr("width", svgWidth)
.attr("height", svgHeight);
var yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.domain([0, d3.max(dataset)])
.range([0, svgHeight]);
var barChart = svg.selectAll("rect")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("rect")
.attr("y", function(d) {
return svgHeight - yScale(d)
})
.attr("height", function(d) {
return yScale(d);
})
.attr("width", barWidth - barPadding)
.attr("transform", function (d, i) {
var translate = [barWidth * i, 0];
return "translate("+ translate +")";
});
var text = svg.selectAll("text")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("text")
.text(function(d) {
return d;
})
.attr("y", function(d, i) {
return svgHeight - d - 2;
})
.attr("x", function(d, i) {
return barWidth * i;
})
.attr("fill", "black");
</script>
Any help is highly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Try removing the multiplication by 2 in your barWidth formula
var barWidth = svgWidth / dataset.length;

How to show different titles for different chart in D3js?

I am new to Javascript and i am trying to draw 4 radar charts. Each chart has different title. I create TitleOptions var and call it below. but it shows everything on every chart. Can I filter the title by using ChartID? I attached my code below. and could anyone help me with this?
<script>
var w = 200;
var h = 200;
var colorscale = d3.scale.category10();
//Legend, titles
var LegendOptions = ['Try Count','Succcess Count', 'Success Rate'];
var TitleOptions=['Try/Success Count Per Skill', 'Try/Success Rate Per Skill', 'Point Get Per Skill', 'Point Lose Per Skill']
////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////// Initiate legend ////////////////
////////////////////////////////////////////
var svg = d3.select('#body')
// .selectAll('svg')
.append('svg')
.attr("width", w+300)
.attr("height", h)
//Create the title for the legend
var text = svg.append('g').append("text")
.attr("class", "title")
.attr('transform', 'translate(90,0)')
.attr("x", 30)
.attr("y", 10)
.attr("font-size", "12px")
.attr("fill", "#404040")
// .text("What % of owners use a specific service in a week");
.text(TitleOptions);
//Initiate Legend
var legend = svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "legend")
.attr("height", 100)
.attr("width", 200)
.attr('transform', 'translate(90,20)')
;
//Create colour squares
legend.selectAll('rect')
.data(LegendOptions)
.enter()
.append("rect")
.attr("x", w - 65)
.attr("y", function(d, i){ return i * 20;})
.attr("width", 10)
.attr("height", 10)
.style("fill", function(d, i){ return colorscale(i);})
;
//Create text next to squares
legend.selectAll('text')
.data(LegendOptions)
.enter()
.append("text")
.attr("x", w - 52)
.attr("y", function(d, i){ return i * 20 + 9;})
.attr("font-size", "11px")
.attr("fill", "#737373")
.text(function(d) { return d; })
;
//Options for the Radar chart, other than default
var mycfg = {
w: w,
h: h,
maxValue: 0.6,
levels: 6,
ExtraWidthX: 300
}
//Load the data and Call function to draw the Radar chart
// dynamic data creation
d3.json("<c:url value='/chart/radarChartData.do?ChartID=${ChartID}&PlayerKey=${PlayerKey}'/>", function(error, data){
RadarChart.draw("#chart", JSONconverter(data.list), mycfg);
});
</script>

Encapsulate the drawing part into a function and call it four times. Something like:
function draw(title) {
const svg = ..
..
.text(title);
}
draw('title1');
draw('title2');
// or better:
['title1', 'title2'].forEach(draw);

Adding labels to both ends of <rect> in a bar chart

I'm using D3 to present some data as a horizontal bar chart. Values will typically range between -10 and +10 on 8 different scales. I have the bars rendering as I want, but I can't work out how to add lables for each of the extreems of the axes.
so far I have:
but I want to achieve something like:
In other words a label for each extreme of each scale.
I have found lots of examples that add data labels to the bars them selves (e.g. the value), but I want to some how force the array of strings to be rendered at the extremes of the container.
At the moment, I am rendering the data from an array, and I have the labels stored in 2 other arrays e.g.
var data = [10, 5, -5, -10, 2, -2, 8, -8];
var leftLabels = ["label 1","label 2", ...];
var rightLabels = ["label 1", "label 2", ...];
Any ideas or links to examples most welcome.

I am not an expert in d3.js, but I think this can be easily done. There are different ways to go about it. I have created a pen for your use case.
I will paste the important part of the code below. In your chart, you will have to certainly make some adjustments to suit your needs. Feel free to play around with the values until you feel they are stable.
// Your array containing labels for left and right values
var leftSideData = ["left1", "left2", "left3", "left4", "left5", "left6", "left7", "left8"];
var rightSideData = ["right1", "right2", "right3", "right4", "right5", "right6", "right7", "right8"];
var left = svg.selectAll(".leftData")
.data(leftSideData)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("class", "leftVal")
.attr("transform", function(d, i) {
return "translate(0," + i * 57 + ")";
});
left.append("text")
.attr("x", 0)
.attr("y", 9)
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.style("text-anchor", "end")
.text(function(d) {
return d;
});
var right = svg.selectAll(".rightData")
.data(rightSideData)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("class", "rightVal")
.attr("transform", function(d, i) {
return "translate(0," + i * 57 + ")";
});
right.append("text")
.attr("x", width + 30)
.attr("y", 9)
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.style("text-anchor", "end")
.text(function(d) {
return d;
});
I won't say this is perfect, but I hope you get an idea about how to approach it. All the best!!

It's funny, just by asking the q on SE I find it helps me reformulate the problem.. and then some time later a new try yields a result. Anyone else find that?
I managed to make it work by changing the way the SVG was created. So I now have the following structure:
<SVG>
><g> (one for each bar)
>><text>
>><rect>
>><text>
><other stuff like axies>
It turns out that <text> elements cannot be added to <rect> elements (well they can, be added but they won't render).
the code is:
var data = [10,2,4,-10,...etc...];
var leftLabels = ["left 1","left 1", ...etc...];
var rightLabels = ["right 1","right 2", ...etc...];
//chart dimentions
var margin = { top: 20, right: 30, bottom: 40, left: 30 },
width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,
barHeight = 30,
height = barHeight * data.length;
//chart bar scaling
var x = d3.scale.linear()
.range([100, width-100]);
var y = d3.scale.ordinal()
.rangeRoundBands([0, height], 0.1);
var chart = d3.select(".chartsvg")
.attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr("height", barHeight * data.length + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
x.domain([d3.min(data), d3.max(data)]);
//append a g for each data item
var bar = chart.selectAll(".bar")
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("g");
//in each bar add a rect for the bar chart bar
bar.append("rect")
.attr("class", function (d) { return "bar--" + (d < 0 ? "negative" : "positive"); })
.attr("x", function (d) { return x(Math.min(0, d)); })
.attr("y", function (d, i) { return i* barHeight; })
.attr("width", function (d) { return Math.abs(x(d) - x(0)); })
.attr("height", barHeight-1);
//append the labels to each g using the label data
bar.append("text")
.data(rightLabels)
.attr("x", width)
.attr("y", function (d, i) { return (i * barHeight)+barHeight/2; })
.attr("dy", ".5em")
.attr("fill","steelblue")
.attr("text-anchor","end")
.text(function (d) { return d; });
bar.append("text")
.data(leftLabels)
.attr("x", 0)
.attr("y", function (d, i) { return (i * barHeight) + barHeight / 2; })
.attr("dy", ".5em")
.attr("fill","darkorange")
.attr("text-anchor", "start")
.text(function (d) { return d; });
//then append axis etc...
Formatting: something else to note. It turns out that to color the text in the label you need to use "stroke" and "fill" attributes. These are broadly equiv to the HTML "color" attribute on text.

How to update a bar chart with accompanying text in d3?

I'm creating a bar chart as part of a bigger data visualization in d3. I want to be able to change the data in one part of the visualization and all the charts will be updated. A simplified version of the chart is as follows.
var dataset = [1, 3, 5, 3, 3];
...
var svg = d3.select("body #container").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var g = svg.append("g");
...
I create other charts like a map, circle etc with this svg element. The bar chart is implemented like this.
function bars(dataset) {
var barChart = g.selectAll("rect.bar")
.data(dataset)
.enter();
barChart.append("rect")
.attr("class", "bar")
.attr("x", function(d, i) { return i * 30 + 100; })
.attr("y", function(d) { return (height - 130) - d * 4;})
.attr("width", 25)
.attr("height", function(d) { return d * 4; });
barChart.append("text")
.text(function(d) { return d; })
.attr("x", function(d, i) { return i * 30 + 103; })
.attr("y", function(d) { return (height - 130) - d/10 - 5;})
.attr("font-family", "sans-serif")
.attr("font-size", "10px")
.attr("fill", "darkgray");
}
Now this renders the bar chart fine but there is a function
...
.on("click", function() {
...
var newdata = [5, 2, 6, 2, 4]; // new values
g.selectAll("rect.bar").remove(); // This removes the bars
g.selectAll("text").remove(); // Problem here: All texts are removed
bars(newdata);
}
I have tried to transition the bar chart with new values with the .remove() function. This works for the bar rectangles because there are no othe bar charts but when I tried to remove the value labels like shown above all the other text elements were also removed. Is there a way to only update the text associated with the bars?

Have you tried applying a class to the text and only selecting those ones for removal?
e.g.
barChart.append("text")
.attr('class','label')
.text(function(d) { return d; })
then
g.selectAll(".label").remove();
Incidentally, if not all of the elements are being deleted between updates, then instead of removing all of the elements, have you considered using enter() and exit() to bind the new data to the existing elements and only remove the elements that are changing?
EDIT Like this:
function bars(dataset) {
var bar = g.selectAll(".bar").data(dataset);
bar.exit().remove();
bar.enter().append("rect").attr("class", "bar");
bar
.attr("x", function(d, i) { return i * 30 + 100; })
.attr("y", function(d) { return (height - 130) - d * 4;})
.attr("width", 25)
.attr("height", function(d) { return d * 4; });
var label = g.selectAll(".label").data(dataset);
label.exit().remove();
label.enter().append("text").attr("class", "label");
label
.text(function(d) { return d; })
.attr("x", function(d, i) { return i * 30 + 103; })
.attr("y", function(d) { return (height - 130) - d/10 - 5;})
.attr("font-family", "sans-serif")
.attr("font-size", "10px")
.attr("fill", "darkgray");
}

How to set up a reference index on horizontal bar chart and transition control

here is my code
var w = ($ ( ".column" ).width());
var h = ($ ( ".column" ).width());
var barPadding = 15;
var dataset = [ ['Graphic Design' , 7], ['Branding' , 8], ['Digital Animation' , 10], ['Web Design' , 9], ['Typography' , 7], ['AV Production' , 9] ];
//Create SVG element
var bars = d3.select(".column")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h)
//starting rects
var graph = bars.selectAll("rect")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("rect")
.attr("width", 0)
.attr("fill", "#636363");
//labels
var text = bars.selectAll("text")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("text");
//Add SVG Text Element Attributes
var textLabels = text
.attr("x", 10)
.attr("y", function(d, i) {
return 35 + i * (h / dataset.length); })
.text( function (d) { return d[0]; })
.attr("font-family", "Quicksand, sans-serif;")
.attr("font-weight", "bold")
.attr("font-size", "0px")
.attr("fill", "#1c1d1e");
//transition at waypoint
$('#slide-4').waypoint(function(){
//transform the bars
graph.transition()
.duration(1000) // this is 1s
.delay(400) // this is 0.1s
.attr("y", function(d, i) {
return i * (h / dataset.length);
})
.attr("x", 0)
.attr("height", h / dataset.length - barPadding)
.attr("width", function(d) {
return (w * d[1] / 10);
})
.attr("fill", "#F05D5C");
//transform the labels
text.transition()
.duration(1000) // this is 1s
.delay(400) // this is 0.1s
.attr("font-size", "20px")
},{ offset: '-100%' }
);
And a little demo: http://jsfiddle.net/65qNa/6/
Everything works as it should be but if you follow the link you can see some bars and their labels spawning all together from nowhere.
1) I'd love those bars to have each one a reference index behind them in the shape of a plain boring grey rect the same height but with the width of the whole div containing the script.
I've tried a few solutions: creating another svg I was unable to put it behind my existing one; putting a div behind the div I'm working on didn't work well on my page for some reason.
2) It would also be lovely if those bars and labels could span one by one and not altogether.
Can you guys please help me?
Thank you!

2)
try something like (I haven't tested it):
graph.transition()
.duration(1000) // this is 1s
.delay(400*function(d,i) {return i;}) // this is 0.1s
.attr("y", function(d, i) {
return i * (h / dataset.length);
})

2)
because of how d3 handles data:
.delay(function(d,i){return i * 300}
Like this the rect at [0] won't have any transition though.
It's enough to tweak it manually and write:
.delay(function(d,i){return **300 +** i * 300}
to make it work.
